Chapter 344: Chapter 294-295: Refining Void Realm, The Meaning of Dao Companions (Part 2)

’If I successfully break into the Mid-stage Void Refining Realm, the Artifact Spirits of sixteen Top-Grade Spiritual Treasures will be waiting for me to devour. My power will skyrocket once more! If the opportunity arises, I might even be able to ascend to the Unity Realm in a single leap!’

’Hmm, I’ll deal with all that later. The most important thing right now is to take care of Chu Xianyi! The opportunities she possesses are too significant. She found such wealth just in a Secret Realm in the Cangyu World. And that’s not even mentioning the true immortal cave within the Great Realm Di Jun! If I can claim it all for myself, I’m certain to become a powerhouse among those in the Unity Realm!’

His mind now clear, Xu Chang’an grasped the changes in his own power. He dispelled the surrounding Array Restriction and flew toward Chu Xianyi’s location.

After stepping into the Void Refining Realm, Xu Chang’an’s flight speed had increased explosively.

It wasn’t just his speed; his overall combat strength had increased by more than tenfold.

If his combat power was a 1 before, it was at least an 18 now.

With such a massive gap in power, even if Chu Xianyi had achieved some breakthrough with her Divine Secret Techniques, she would be no match for him.

Besides, it had only been a little over a day. No matter how immensely talented Chu Xianyi was, what kind of breakthrough could she possibly have?!

「...」

Atop a beautiful mountain peak, an Array Restriction concealed the fluctuations of power.

Feeling her aura rise steadily, Chu Xianyi couldn’t help but recall the scenes from her recent Heart Demon Tribulation.

’The other scenes were normal enough.’

’They all questioned my Dao Heart.’

’But that final life cycle I experienced...’

’I was an ancient swordswoman clad in green robes!’

’By a twist of fate, I met and fell in love with a scholar!’

’We went through everything—misunderstandings, coincidences, love rivals, and tender affection—but we finally ended up together.’

’It contained all the beauty and bittersweetness of the mortal world. I almost lost myself completely in it.’

’It wasn’t until our wedding night that I finally came to my senses.’

’When I looked again, my husband’s face was... Zi Dian!’

’This...’

’How is that possible?!’

’Zi Dian... has become my Heart Demon!’

’This means he’s already left an indelible mark on my heart!’

’A pity...’

’But if it’s just a mark, then it’s destined to become a thing of the past!’

"I have already stepped into the Void Refining Realm! A mere Zi Dian is nothing but a fleeting figure in my life!"

Chu Xianyi rose to her feet. Her rainbow-hued dress possessed a unique beauty of its own.

At the same time, her aura surged to its absolute peak.

Though she hadn’t fully mastered her Divine Secret Techniques, the breakthrough in her Cultivation had caused her combat strength to grow exponentially.

’Hmm?!’

Chu Xianyi’s delicate brows furrowed slightly as she looked up at the sky.

She sensed an aura approaching her.

The aura was powerful—definitely not from the Divinity Transformation Realm. It had to be, at the very least, another member of the Void Refining Demon Race!

’Did my recent breakthrough attract prying eyes?’

In the next instant, she saw the newcomer’s figure clearly.

It was Zi Dian!

How could it be?!

A look of utter shock spread across Chu Xianyi’s flawless face.

’He...’

’How did he break through too?!’

’From the Early-stage Divinity Transformation Realm all the way to the Void Refining Realm!’

’How?!’

But Chu Xianyi wasn’t the only one who was shocked. Xu Chang’an was just as stunned.

Sensing the immense aura not far away, he too was filled with astonishment and confusion.

’The Void Refining Realm!’

’Chu Xianyi!’

’This...’

’How could this be?!’

’She...’

’How did she break through too?!’

’Even if she did break through, how was her speed not the slightest bit slower than my panel?!’

’Why?!’

SWOOSH!

In a flash of light, Xu Chang’an bypassed the Array Restriction and appeared before Chu Xianyi.

He was a young Child, rosy-cheeked and dressed in black robes, which made him look even more delicate.

She was a peerless beauty with a cool and aloof aura. Dressed in a rainbow-hued gown, she radiated a harmonious blend of cold glamour and noble grace.

The two Demons stood facing one another, speechless.

Both of their hearts were filled with astonishment and disbelief. Their minds raced, contemplating the current situation.

Xu Chang’an was astonished by Chu Xianyi’s breakthrough and its incredible speed, which hadn’t been the least bit slower than his own, even with the help of his panel.

Chu Xianyi was astonished by how fearsome Zi Dian was. She thought she had already estimated his abilities highly, but she had never imagined that he would, just like her, also step into the Void Refining Realm!

She had relied on the Profound Mysterious Red Fruit—so what was Zi Dian relying on?!

It was as if Zi Dian was shrouded in a dense fog. She thought she had peeled back one layer, allowing her to see him clearly, but the truth was that another layer of fog lay just behind it, obscuring him from her view once more.

The more she interacted with him, the less she could discern his true origins and foundation.

’Could it be...’

’Is he truly a Great Power Reincarnation?!’

’There’s no other explanation!’

’Also...’

’I had thought our shared destiny would end in the Secret Realm of the Netherworld Mountain Range.’

’Who would have thought that Zi Dian would reveal such unimaginable combat strength, standing as my equal?’

’And that was one thing...’

’I thought that by coming to the Great Realm and using the Profound Mysterious Red Fruit, I could finally pull away and leave him far behind, but...’

’Zi Dian also stepped into the Void Refining Realm!’

’Could it be the will of the heavens for me and Zi Dian to be entangled with each other, life after life?!’

’Dao Companions... Dao Companions!’

’A Demon who is beneficial to one’s Dao Path!’

’This Zi Dian...’

For the first time, Chu Xianyi was truly contemplating this question in her heart.

’This woman... she’s something else! The more I’m around her, the more unnatural she seems!’

Xu Chang’an looked at the peerless Chu Xianyi before him, feeling increasingly unsettled the longer he stared.

For the first time in this life, he tasted defeat.

No matter how powerful other Demons were, he had surpassed them all one by one with the help of his panel.

But Chu Xianyi was different. Not only was her combat power terrifying, but her Realm was actually keeping pace with his!

’Hmph! I’ll just wait! After I devour the Artifact Spirits of two Ordinary Spiritual Treasures, my Cultivation will break through to the Mid-stage Void Refining. Then, the Artifact Spirits of sixteen Top-Grade Spiritual Treasures will all become my fuel! We’ll see how you keep up with me then!’

’I had intended to end this once and for all. However...’

’...now that she’s broken through as well... We both know each other’s strength. With our Realms being equal, neither of us can do anything to the other. Rather than rip off all pretenses and fight, it’s better to reconsider. For now, at least!’
